but we do see Jesus, who was made inferior to the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by God's favor He might experience death for every human being.

Therefore, my Christian brothers, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Messenger and High Priest whom we profess to follow,

For just as the man who builds a house has greater glory than the house, by just so much is Jesus judged to be worthy of greater glory than Moses.

Since then we have in Jesus, the Son of God, a great High Priest who has gone right up to heaven itself, let us continue to keep a firm hold on our profession of faith in Him.

(6:19) where Jesus has blazed the way for us and became a High Priest with the rank of Melchizedek.

so much the more Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

It is by this will of God that we are consecrated through the offering of Jesus' body once for all.

Since then, my brothers, we have free access to the real sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,

keeping our eyes on Jesus, the perfect leader and example of faith, who, instead of the joy which lay before Him, endured the cross with no regard for its shame, and since has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks a better message than even Abel's did.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes, forever.

So Jesus, too, in order to purify the people by His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

May God, who gives us peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, who through the blood by which He ratified the everlasting covenant, is now the Great Shepherd of the sheep,

perfectly fit you to do His will, He Himself, through Jesus Christ, accomplishing through you what is pleasing to Him. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
